Episode 34: Blackout

In this episode we take a timeout to reflect on the ghastly history of racial violence in America by doing a deep dive into South Carolina’s ugliest past and inviting Leslie from Geeky Girls’ Night In and Geeky Girls’ Guide to Life to speak. The first two segments carry strong content warnings about murder, legal lynching, and a police shooting mischaracterized as a riot.  If you’d like to skip to Leslie’s emotional segment, you can start around the 35 minute mark.
